The former Trump official is apparently furious about the candy maker's diversity efforts, and he's taking it up with the federal government

(snip)

America First Legal, the legal activist group founded by former Trump adviser Stephen Miller, on Wednesday filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against Mars Inc., the maker of M&’s. The pro-Trump nonprofit alleges Mars’ efforts to increase diversity and representation of minorities within its workforce constitutes discrimination and a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The move comes just days after Fox News fired its former prime-time host and sexy-M&M devotee Tucker Carlson. Carlson famously feuded with Mars after it swapped out the green M&M’s go-go boots for professional attire it called “current” and “representative of our consumer.” In a televised rant, the former Fox host moaned that the green candy is “no longer wearing sexy boots, now she’s wearing sensible sneakers,” and lamented that “when you’re totally turned off, we’ve achieved equity, they’ve won.”

Miller did not respond to questions about whether the complaint was related to Carlson’s ouster.

Can you even imagine a bag of M&M's that isn't based on diversity?

1. People like this are really in need of psychiatry. He's a very disturbed individual. n/t

7. Must agree

That or they just have nothing to do. Why would you waste your time or money.

8. It's incredible. Fighting the mouse, fighting a bag of candy. WTF! Prognosis - a holding cell for

further evaluation.

11. Either that or he needs the shit kicked out of him.

I'm not sure which.

[RKP5637]

12. I vote for both! n/t

16. If you're over 5'3"

and weigh more than 120, it wouldn't be a fair fight.

2. How in hell does he have standing?

He can't possibly have been personally injured or hurt by M&M's employment policies.

3. First of all, Stephen Miller is a Nazi bastard of the first order,

Second, how on Earth does he even have standing to bring this case ? How has he personally been injured by the diversity hiring practices of M&M/Mars ? Did he apply for a job there and get told, "Sorry, we have our quota of Nazi bastards for the time being."

Go away Stephen. Crawl back into whatever slime pit sewer hole you crawled out of and stay there. We're so over you.

17. Thank you for the link.

Having worked for the EEOC years ago, these letters are viewed, as . . . how shall I say this . . . material for the "round file." They are nothing but time-wasting for the poor soul that has to read them. They accomplish nothing and go no where. The EEOC has always been understaffed and overburdened with serious issues of discrimination. It is appalling that Stephen Miller and his fellow fascists are trying to score cheap political points with this utter garbage.

P/S LOVE the Meidas Touch guys.

10. K&R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[Blue Owl]

4. What a weak, weak man; lacking the strength to resist the sweet temptations...

[hlthe2b]

5. Propaganda. They send letters of complaint to these entities with no legal backing. See Meidas'

Touch's breakdown. These are not lawsuits. Shame on Rolling Stone, Reuters, and others for falling for this claptrap.

13. Any lawyer who signs that brief should be subject to sanctions for filing a frivolous lawsuit. NT

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

18. I don't think any of them are lawyers.

[dickthegrouch]

14. I'm surprised he's ok with color of what's underneath the "clothes"

Sue because there are no white chocolate M&Ms you idiots.

I hope
